Vietnam Document
Legalization & Authentication
Vietnam acceded to the Hague Apostille Convention on September 30, 2025. For documents needed before this date: Vietnamese Embassy authentication (legalization) is required. For documents needed after this date: Hague Apostille is accepted. Hive Digital handles both pathways for American professionals and employers.
Two Pathways for Vietnam
Embassy Authentication (Legalization)
Documents must be legalized at the Vietnamese Embassy or Consulate General in the country of origin. This is a multi-step authentication process.
Hague Apostille
